Precisely why do we...

[my4jewels]

store our nic in glass rather than plastic. Of course, I use amber glass bottles as many of you do. But I've always wondered why it couldn't stay in the plastic bottle it comes in. Is it taste, spoilage, reduction of nic content, etc...

Plastic is not as inert as glass. So I use glass to reduce reactions with the container material and the contents.

Never tried it any other way, so I don't know if it superior, but I'm happy with my storage.

In addition to Hoosier's post, glass doesn't "breathe" where plastic does. That's why I threw out some old flavorings in plastic bottles, they were stinking up the closet. So if air gets out, it can get in. But Hoosier's answer is as usual the correct one, non-reactive.

I agree, I use glass because I don't want my nic to taste like the Chinese food we put in the fridge.
